Entered the Golem Labyrinth. Interesting idea for a dungeon puzzle, utilizing sky blue and pink as polarity colors, changing enemy behavior depending on what color you are. Also, the map layout as a nifty trick. A single shaft with multiple branches going right and left, with some branches connected to each other above and below. And gained the next transformation: Elephant.

Also, cornering enemies before they attack and repeatedly whipping them is surprisingly fun.

Oh, and I ended up finding a soft lock bug, but thankfully it was very early in my dungeon exploration (endlessly default dancing near a blue polarity fountain). Gonna have to be careful with progress saving while playing further.

Short session. Made it to Oasis Town. I'm starting to have more fun with the game as it goes along. Controls are starting to settle with me. The charm of the game itself is starting to click with me. Honestly saying, if this is the weakest entry in the series, then I'm in for a good time.

Completed Dribble Fountain. Gained the Monkey transformation and nabbed the Water Stone. Now I'm off to Oasis Town for my next quest.

Also learned, as evil as she is, Risky might be a moron and in WAY over her head.
